1 analyst only with a question. Folks, that should tell you all you need to know. When will the activist board member force hard changes? You certainly don’t need to be a brain surgeon to see this.

Most of the people I enjoyed working with left here a long time ago. Those were the people from whom something new could be learned every day because they were top experts. However there are still very capable and knowledgeable people here, but... —  read more
